Possible virus in driver file
« on: December 14, 2003, 02:06:15 AM »
When I try to download the latests printer drivers from this link
ftp://ftp.hp.com/pub/softlib/software2/COL1544/oj-6819-4/rw2_021_w02_esn.exe
which I found at www.hp.es, avast warns about a virus in the temp file from Opera's cache
It is supposed to be  Win32:Toal [Wrm] but I'm not sure if it would really be a virus as the file is an official driver update from HP.

The online scanner doesn't detect any virus.

Does this mean that it is clean?

Please send it to virus@avast.com together with short description for verification. We are not able to decide if it is false alarm or not without seeing the file first...

Thank you for your cooperation
